With Kane Williamson stepping down as captain last week, Tim Southee has been named his successor. Southee, who has led New Zealand in 23 white-ball matches, ...

Coming on the back of losing four home Tests in a row in addition to major overhaul at PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board), Pakistan aren’t the most confident of sides at the moment. In what is likely to be salt on Pakistan’s wounds, they have only won one (over four years ago) out of their last five Tests against the Kiwis. A historic two-Test and three-ODI tour for New Zealand will also commence a new era for them particularly in Test cricket.

Bracewell and Ajaz reduced Pakistan to 48 for 3 before Babar and Shakeel brought a semblance of stability to the Innings.

He was welcomed with a loud cheer from the Karachi crowd and his only scoring shot until now was a boundary down the ground off Sodhi. However, Southee returned for a second spell before lunch, tempting Shakeel to drive away from his body and earning his reward as the left-hand batter, on 22, sliced it to the gully fielder. He made the most of being dropped by first slip at 12 and, with his seventh four, brought up his half-century in 76 balls. Both batters feasted on the spinners, first off the back foot and then off the front as they grew in confidence. Pakistan went to lunch at 115 for 4 in 30 overs, with Babar's 27th half-century holding their innings together and [Sarfaraz Ahmed](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/sarfaraz-ahmed-227760)giving him company on 4. However, Imam fell for 24 off the last ball before drinks after charging down the track to loft Bracewell over his head.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam hit his 9th Test hundred to rescue the hosts after a mini top-order collapse against New Zealand in the series opener.

Babar's dominance in Test cricket can be verified by the fact that he has now scored four Test hundreds as a captain in 2022, which is the most by any international skipper. Notably, Misbah-ul-Haq (8) holds the record for most Test hundreds as Pakistan captain. The Pakistan captain stood tall after getting a reprieve on 12 and also survived an lbw television referral in Ish Sodhi's first over.

Sharp turn and beats Babar's defence to strike on the back thigh pad. No bat but it would have spun over the stumps!! The left-armer got Babar LBW as well, but a review saved him. The next two sessions however were totally dominated by Pakistan, as the pitch got flat and the experience of Babar and Sarfaraz proved no match. But it wasn't to be as Ajaz Patel got him caught at slip with the new ball. Pakistan were horrible for the first hour and a half, but they steadied the ship brilliantly after that.

Brief Scores: Pakistan 317/5 in 90 overs (Babar Azam 161 not out, Sarfaraz Ahmed 86, Michael Bracewell 2/61, Ajaz Patel 2/91) against New Zealand.

Once the new ball was taken, New Zealand had a breakthrough when Sarfaraz edged Patel to first slip in the 86th over, bringing his colossal partnership with Babar to an end. From there, New Zealand were sent on a leather hunt as Babar and Sarfaraz, batting in Tests for the first time since January 2019, joined forces for a mammoth partnership. He would then walk off the field unbeaten an 161 on stumps, with Agha Salman by his side on three not out. Apart from him, a returning Sarfaraz Ahmed shined in his 50th Test appearance and first at home with a gritty 86 off 153 balls.
